There’s another tape. Yes, another. And it’s pretty bad for Trump. It’s kind of tape you play for the jury. Is it a ketchup on the walls of Bedminster day? Quite possibly. I explain why in today’s piece.

Notable quote:
'"Detecting and mitigating a model's logical mistakes, or hallucinations, is a critical step towards building aligned AGI [or artificial general intelligence]," Karl Cobbe, mathgen researcher at OpenAI, told CNBC, noting that while OpenAI did not invent the process-supervision approach, the company is helping to push it forward. "The motivation behind this research is to address hallucinations in order to make models more capable at solving challenging reasoning problems."'
As if hallucinations result from "logical mistakes" rather than from working exactly as designed and producing syntactically plausible continuations. And as if the problem is "solving challenging reasoning problems" as opposed to just having no notion of truth whatever and happily making stuff up. :P

Boulton and Park were two Victorian cross-dressers who went under the names Fanny and Stella. They appeared on stage in drag and—to the shock of Victorian society—did so in public and in their private lives.
The events surrounding the two are seen as key moments in the UK's gay history and is today's English #Wikipedia featured article:

The article was recently rewritten by editor SchroCat, who shepherded it through the featured review process

FYI #pica does not run an accredited university, credits from her “courses” aren’t transferable— and I strongly suspect this whole thing is just an elaborate cat food extortion scheme… I mean the last set of “diplomas” she sent out were scribbles on the back of old greenies wrappers… That said I kinda have to promote this thing she has me in a tough place. (and to be fair she is something of an expert on “relaxing” so maybe you’ll learn something? maybe?)
